Problems with installing node-red #56

Closed JMStoerk closed 4 years ago

JMStoerk commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone,

unfortunately I am a beginner with the topics node-red and iot2000.

I have a problem installing node-red. I follow the instructions "SIMATIC_IOT2000_Setting_up_V2.1.1.pdf " at: SIMATIC Setting up . During the installation I get the error message during prebuild-install attached as a picture. For me this means as much as: The github-Link could not be found. (If I try to open the link manually in the browser, the page cannot be found either). While searching for the node-usb package it turned out that the ia32 package for version 1.6.1,v48,linux OS is not existing (anymore). How can I still install node-red or replace the wrong link?

Error 404 node-red install

Many thanks in advance Joachim

Hello, and welcome to GitHub.

This message is ok. It's just saying it couldn't find any pre-compiled binaries of one library we use for your operating system, and therefore it will try to compile the library locally (we can confirm that on the " CC(target) ..." line on the screenshot).

Even if this compilation step failed on your system, then just the connection to PLCs over MPI won't work; the connection over ethernet cable should work normally, regardless of this optional library failing to install.
